Why use Vitablend Antioxidants?

Why use Antioxidants?

- Virtually all foodstuffs containing fats or oils will be susceptible to oxidative rancidity. As this process progresses the sensorial characteristics and nutritional value of the food will deteriorate. The use of Antioxidants effectively delays this process.

- The increasing use of healthier unsaturated fats that are more prone to oxidation means an increased demand for Antioxidants in food products.

During the processing of food with a high oil content certain natural Antioxidants can be removed from the oils making the products more susceptible to oxidation. A range of formulated synthetic Antioxidants are available from VItablend to improve the oils natural protection against oxidative degradation and increase the oils shelf life.
